Gotta have it with sound:

Even if they got into the playoffs, we saw that Liberatore's velo dropped again last night which likely means he is having arm fatigue. Oli made a good decision to get him out of there early. But as we all saw in 2006, backing into the playoffs with an awful pitching staff doesn't mean a team can't shock everyone. But, we did have Chris Carpenter that year and Chris Carpenter Sonny Gray is not...

It’s like the team has ADHD - they can’t seem to stay focused over a 162 game schedule. And at this point it isn’t Nado either. Just young guys and older 20s somethings who need more leadership than Oli can provide - ever.
I would still take that worst case outcome if it meant the Cubs watched from homeBraund241 wrote: ↑13 Aug 2025 16:04 pm The worse thing that could happen to this group is to become the third wildcard, which is a joke in and of itself.
